"This is a great vehicle to own. It is tame on the street, but wild when taken off-road. It is fantastic for all weather conditions....
Snow...no problem.
Ice...piece of cake.
Rain...Ha, it laughs in the face of a thunder storm."

Great vehicle for the new driver!

"My dad got into a wreck with my jeep during the winter and it SAVED HIS LIFE!! If he would have been in his van, he would have died. This jeep has been great! I got it when I turned 16 and at 21 it is still running strong! Only minor repairs: brakes, tires, AC, muffler ( keeps falling off), and fuel pump. Gas mileage isn't wonderful, but the 4 wheel drive in the winter is awesome. I've never gotten stuck in since I've had this jeep (5yrs). I plan on getting my children a jeep when they become of age to drive. Very safe and dependable.

"Learn the jeep and know it...Computer usually dies after 10 years, bad crank/cam sensor will keep it from starting, water pump (I6) goes out every few years,...these jeeps have their quirks, but when you know what they do--you immediately know how to go about diagnosing and/or fixing. (9.5/10) Great in snow!"

"I have owned this car for a while and I have found it to be very dependable. It starts up every time I turn the key and runs fairly smoothly considering it is almost 20 years old and has nearly 300,000 miles on it. The only thing that disappoints me is the headliner. I have talked to several Jeep owners of this era and they all have the same problem, headliner has come unglued. Nearly impossible to fix myself and I have gotten pricing from $350 to $500 to repair, so a little spray glue and I have learned to live with it. Jeep/Chrysler should make engines that last this long with so few problems today. Had a slant 6 on a 1960 Valiant back in the day another great engine."

"I've had this jeep since 1999, it had only 50,000 miles on it when I purchased it. I 've taken very good care of it and still do. I always make sure the oil is changed ( VERY IMPORTANT ). I am now at 233,400 miles. A few normal repairs need to be made, otherwise this is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I pray she keeps going strong for many more miles to come. It's all I have & sure can't afford another car. LOVE MY 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED GREAT VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!"
